Mircea Milcovitch – “Le Génie du Sphinx” – Confessions sur la gestation d’une sculpture
April 24th, 2010 · No Comments · Art Exhibitions, Diaspora, PEOPLE
En 1991, j’achevais une série de dessins et sculptures. La source d’inspiration était l’ancienne Égypte, dont j’avais essayé d’extraire l’esprit, à ma manière, c’est-à-dire selon mon propre code de formes, et après un long travail d’élaboration. Sans que ce soit l’unique « source » de mon travail, je regardais et interrogeais cet art sculptural depuis longtemps, depuis mon arrivée à Paris. Lorsque je l’avais rencontré au Louvre, j’avais subi un choc. Je m’étais rendu compte que les reproductions ne pouvaient pas rendre compte de la réalité, remplacer la rencontre, le contact avec cet art monumental. J’avais senti une communion, un lien avec ceux qui l’avaient conçu et exécuté. Dans le sous-sol du Louvre, où ces sculptures étaient exposées, j’ai posé la main sur l’épaule d’une sculpture égyptienne en basalte noir. Je suis resté longtemps figé à côté de cette sculpture, ma main sur son épaule. La pierre froide sentait le toucher et transmettait quelque chose à son tour. Ce n’était pas uniquement une impression. La sculpture me devenait étrangement proche.

Pictori romani in Bretania 1880-1930 – sau cu Institutul Cultural Roman (Paris), din lac in put.
March 18th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Art Exhibitions, Diary, OPINION
este absolut eveident ca dupa expozitia Grigorescu dela Agen si Barbizon, urmata de expozitia de la Quimper toate localitati cu o populatie redusa si de un interes cultural limitat, putem afirma ca Arta culturii romanesti, asa cum este ea gerata de nastrusnicii nostri kulturnici este plimbata “in parteneriat” prin locuri periferice si provincii cu densitate urbana scazuta, ca “din lac in put,” iar impactul cultural in strainatate este absolut infim. Aceasta este cu atat mai jenant cu cat fondurile de organizare nu ar fi cu mult mai mari daca asemenea expozitii ar avea loc in marile orase ale Frantei, cunoscute vaduri de cultura si de intelectualitate. Dar aceste ‘detalii’, asa cum am mai spus, nu sunt luate in consideratie de cei (i)responsabili, fie pentru ca nu isi dau seama, din lipsa unei suprafate intelectuale sau fie pentru ca, pur si simplu, nu se sinchisesc pentru ca nu o fac pe banii lor si ori si cum nimeni nu le tine socoteala: sau cu alte cuvinte orbul conduce pe orb in acea atmosfera calduta de autosatisfactie inepta ale infinitelor cumetrii.

Orpheus never turned up for tea
Looking at a painting by Janet Cree (1910-1992)
————————————————-
There is an instant fascination which this painting on panel offers the neophyte, as he identifies himself without any difficulty to the main personage – a scantily clad youth playing an antique harp, surrounded by a bevy of entranced females, some prostrate [...]
